Delighted to be hosting ICAIS 2026 in Belfast at @QUBelfast with @DickJaimie
ICAIS is a longstanding, leading meeting to address local and global biological invasion issues
Supported by @InvSp @ICAISorg #ICAIS2024 #ICAIS2026 #invasivespecies

Invasive species are a growing environmental problem worldwide that threatens ecosystems, human health, and the economy. Research at @QUBelfast is at the forefront of this field. Our colleague Dr @ross_cuthbert explains more in this video.

Just out in Biological Reviews:
Non-native species have higher consumption rates than their native counterparts
Through a global meta-analysis, we show that non-native consumers are often characterised by more efficient use of resources ๐พ ๐ฑ

๐ฆ๐ฆ Non-native species threaten biodiversity, but... how do native species respond over time?
โ๏ธCheck it in our latest paper in @GlobalChangeBio : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/โฆ Thanks to all: @HaubrockPhillip @ross_cuthbert @LaisCarneiro03 among others :)
Should we be dyeing aquatic ecosystems?
Our new paper in @STOTEN_journal discusses whether alleged โeco-friendlyโ artificial colouring of waters for aesthetics and management could, in fact, have drastic ecological consequences

Did you know that invasive species cause several impacts in protected areas?
We show evidence of this in our study:
